heres some pictures of a ship port that i made. anything that you think i should add?
[attachmentid=4681]

i didnt name the marine or anything but heres wat each thing is supposed to be. the air units are ships and schooners. te powerups are crates and tanks. the zealots are sailors and the civs are just people. the sprites between the depots are lightposts and the depots are docking bays. the protoss buildings are just a bigger docking bay.

Uh... those look just likke Qpirateking's terrain...

Interesting. Though, it seems very "cluttered" to me... =X. The units you placed in a sense overtake the terrain. All I see is StarCraft units. So, in effect, the terrain isn't emphasized....

It's good but this part doesn't quite match up.

Hahaha.. Chill such a perfectionist.. I think it's good overall, you can't really ask for perfect when making ab-normal terrain in Star Forge because in most instances it isnt possible.

But yeah this is good for a dock, but docks are so simple! There are tons of ways to do docks, but they're basically all the same, they're also easy to do. Although the use of units to add a theme to the docks is good, do something else! How about instead of a dock, do a sea side resort, then I'll be impressed.

I know I'm ing about this more than I should be, but you could easily fix that.

hmm, thats wierd chill, its fine in the editor. maybe its just a weird effect from the supply depot being there. ill try improving on it also.

Instead of using the twilight things for lights I would put in the installation mechanical arms. And use something like the nuke sprite for a light.

Well, the buildings dont cover up any blockyness, but isnt it a good idea, to sprites, just cover up with buildings, to make the terrain more parallel with whats going on in the game?

yea, i think different sprites should be used, it just looks.... odd. If you didnt tell me it was a shipyard i would not have known. It needs new sprites.

That's how I would (and did) do it.
lol

You shouldn't add anything, you should subtract a lot though.

The supply depos should be the same distance away from the dock on both sides. Move the top ones out or the bottom ones in.

There is nothing special in there is just basic terraning with units, this has nothing to do with terraning. Try making some other things but with sprites, like Paella he does pretty good stuff with sprites (Most of the times he puts too much, but anyways)

wow, i didnt know this thread was still going. maybe ill have some motivation to spruce it up since you guys gave me some good ideas.



if you havent noticed, pretty much everything in this forum is basic terraining with units. and i think my picture has a lot more terrain than others but anyways at least mine is original

Humm... I don't see whats wrong in there... Other people say it's weird too, but I don't see what your meaning, it's just a suplie depot on on kinda port...

No such thing as perfect.
